Technology Autobiography Update

Since taking this class my technological knowledge has probably doubled. I have learned and used many different applications that I will be able to employ in my teaching. Movie Maker is something that I had no idea existed, but now I have seen how easy the program is to use. I can imagine a many future learning experiences with this program. I also learned how to create true web searches and web inquiries. This can be directed by me by using trailfire and other programs. I was also introduced into the world of podcasting which opened the door to endless possibilities. My students will be able to create/publish oral histories and radio broadcasts so that their parents and community members can see what they are learning. All in all as a techno weary person I have started to feel comfortable with using technology so much so that I plan to implement it with my students.
